In Greek mythology, the name Henioche (Ἡνιόχη, fem. of ἠνίοχος "charioteer") may refer to:

  • Henioche, daughter of Creon and the above, sister of Pyrrha. There were statues of the two sisters near the sanctuary of Apollo Ismenius in Thebes.[3]
  • Henioche, daughter of Armenius the descendant of Admetus, consort of Andropompus and mother by him of Melanthus, who in his turn was father of Codrus.[5]
  • Henioche or Heniocheia could be the correct form behind Henicea in Hyginus' catalogue[6] of Priam's children.
